Noah

Ignatius Donnelly

The Deluge Legends of America

After the flood, Tezpi sent birds to find dry land, similar to Noah's story.

This is reminiscent of the biblical flood and Noah's ark.

Symbolic Representations: The use of boats, arks, or rafts to escape the flood, similar to the story of Noah.

The Destruction of Atlantis

The flood tradition is particularly strong among the Aryan (Indo-European), Semitic (Syro-Arabian), and Hamitic (Cushite) races, aligning with the descendants of Noah as per the Bible.

Atlantis – Taurid meteor shower

This event is the basis of the legendary flood of Noah.

Sabine Baring-Gould

The death of Adam

A common belief is that Noah carried Adam’s bones in the Ark, and they were buried in Jerusalem, the supposed center of the earth.

Numerology

Biblically, the number 2 can represent division or witness, as seen with Noah's Ark, where animals were brought in pairs.

The Pre-Adamites

Consequently, Adam's original sin weighed only on his descendants, and Peyreira supposed that his race alone perished, with the exception of Noah and his family, in the Deluge, which Peyreira contends was partial.

He also questioned how all known civilizations could be traced back to Noah’s descendants following the Flood.

Geographical Distribution: The wide geographical distribution of humans across the Earth, including in regions isolated by vast oceans and natural barriers, suggested to La Peyrère that humanity must have multiple origins, as it would have been impossible for descendants of Noah's family to populate these areas so quickly after the Flood.

Historical Populations: The existence of ancient civilizations with well-established cultures, languages, and technologies at times that seemed too close to the biblical timeline of Adam and Eve or Noah's Flood.

Critiques of the Flood Narrative: He questioned the feasibility of Noah’s Ark story in repopulating the entire world with all species of animals and all human races from a single family within a few generations.

Biblical

Lamech

Seth is mentioned as the ancestor of Noah, linking the genealogy from Adam to the time of the flood.

Lamech, the descendant of Seth: This Lamech is a father of Noah and comes much later in the genealogy that starts with Seth.

The secret book of John

Adam in Yaldabaoth’s Paradise

But the great light of Providence warned Noah.He preached to all of the children,The sons of men,But if they were strangers to him they didn’t listen.

Noah knew his own authorityAnd that of the light Being who illuminated themAlthough the Chief Ruler poured darkness over all the world.

Biblical

Ham

Ham, in the Bible, is one of Noah's sons.

After the flood, Ham discovered Noah drunk and naked in his tent.

Instead of covering his father's nakedness, Ham told his two brothers, Shem and Japheth, who then walked backward into the tent to cover Noah without seeing him.

When Noah awoke and learned what had happened, he cursed Ham's son Canaan, saying that he would be a servant to his brothers.

Hinduism

Vaivasvata Manu

Vaivasvata Manu, often simply called Manu, is regarded as the progenitor of humanity, akin to Noah in the Abrahamic traditions.

The stories of Noah and Manu involve their roles as progenitors of humanity after surviving a catastrophic flood.

Shem: Shem is often mentioned as the eldest son of Noah.

Ham: Ham is another son of Noah.

Japheth: Japheth is the third son of Noah.

The Bible does not explicitly mention the names of Noah's daughters.

Biblical

Enosh

He is an important link in the lineage from Adam to Noah.

Apocalypse of Adam

Adam and Eve were created by the god Sakla out of the earth

A flood destroys all flesh on Earth except for those on Noah's Ark.

Sakla gives the Earth to Noah and his sons to rule over in kingly fashion.

Noah then divides the Earth among his sons Ham, Japheth and Shem and warns them to serve Sakla in fear and slavery.

From 900 to 120 years

Human lifespan declines

However, in Sumerian and Babylonian traditions, which often intertwine with Egyptian ones in the study of ancient Near Eastern history, the figure of Utnapishtim (also known as Ziusudra in Sumerian or Atrahasis in Akkadian) is the equivalent of Noah and is directly connected to the Great Flood myth.

The genealogy from Adam (the first man, according to the Bible) to Noah is as follows:

Noah, Lamech’s son, lived for 950 years.

The flood is said to have occurred in Noah’s 600th year.

If you add up the ages, starting with the birth of Adam to the birth of Noah, and then add Noah’s age at the time of the flood (600 years), the total time from the Garden of Eden to the flood is:

Rhetorically, the contrast enlists the audience to approve of the second and to side with him so that they can be loyal to God’s purpose through Noah—of whom Abram, and thus Israel, are the proper heirs.

The Great Flood(s)

The story of Noah's Ark is a well-known biblical tale that tells the story of a global flood that destroyed all life on earth except for Noah, his family, and a pair of every animal species on the planet.

The oldest known version of the story of the Ark of Noah comes from the ancient city of Nippur in Mesopotamia and dates back to around 2000 BCE.

The Anunnaki

These texts are simular to the story of Adam and Eve and Noah and the Great Flood.

Who is god?

Later on, you'll learn what the Garden of Eden is, and we dive deeper into the significance of Noah and the flood.

A dry wind

Third World (World of Water): This world was obliterated by a great flood, a common theme in many cultures' mythologies, including the Biblical story of Noah's Ark.

Crows

Noah's Ark (Genesis 8:7): After the great flood, Noah first sent out a raven to see if the waters had receded.

Human History Revised

Those who have read "Sapiens" by Yuval Noah Harari might think it's the most current portrayal of our past.

Biblical

Canaanites

Regarding their relationship to Noah, according to the biblical narrative, the Canaanites were descendants of Canaan, who was a son of Ham, one of Noah's three sons.

24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

This is part of the curse Noah pronounces on Canaan after Noah's son Ham, who is Canaan's father, sees Noah naked and tells his brothers, Shem and Japheth, who then cover their father without looking at him.

Prophet

Prophet Hud and the people of ’Âd

A 4th generation descendant of Noah

Hud is said to have been a subject of a mulk (Arabic: مُلك, kingdom) named after its founder, 'Ad, a fourth-generation descendant of Noah (his father being Uz, the son of Aram, who was the son of Shem, who in turn was a son of Noah):

Their eponymous ancestor ʿAd was fourth in generation from Noah, having been a son of 'Aus, the son of Aram, the son of Sam, the son of Noah.

Anunnaki

The 200 Grigori

God sends the Great Flood to rid the earth of the Nephilim, but sends Uriel to warn Noah, so as not to eradicate the human race.

The Nephilim

The descendants of Seth and Cain, including the Anunnaki like Noah, aimed to preserve their bloodline through humans.

In addition to Enoch, the Book of Jubilees (7:21–25) also states that ridding the Earth of these Nephilim was one of God's purposes for flooding the Earth in Noah's time.

Adam

Adam, the first humans

The lineage of Seth leading to Noah might symbolize the long journey of human evolution, marked by significant adaptations and survival through various climatic and environmental shifts.

The father of Noah, Lamech could symbolize a period of impending significant change, much like the biblical narrative of the Flood.

Abraham 1

Egypt first discovered by a woman

19 As it was with Noah so shall it be with thee; but through thy ministry my name shall be known in the earth forever, for I am thy God.

In this context, "Ham" could refer to a biblical figure known as one of the sons of Noah.

26 Pharaoh, being a righteous man, established his kingdom and judged his people wisely and justly all his days, seeking earnestly to imitate that order established by the fathers in the first generations, in the days of the first patriarchal reign, even in the reign of Adam, and also of Noah, his father, who blessed him with the blessings of the earth, and with the blessings of wisdom, but cursed him as pertaining to the Priesthood.

27 Now, Pharaoh being of that lineage by which he could not have the right of Priesthood, notwithstanding the Pharaohs would fain claim it from Noah, through Ham, therefore my father was led away by their idolatry;

Noah, known for building the Ark in the biblical account of the Flood, had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

The term Hamitic originally referred to the peoples said to be descended from Ham, one of the Sons of Noah according to the Bible.

According to the Book of Genesis, after Noah became drunk and Ham dishonored his father, upon awakening Noah pronounced a curse on Ham's youngest son, Canaan, stating that his offspring would be the "servants of servants".

In consequence, some 19th century theologians emphasized that the biblical Noah restricted his curse to the offspring of Ham's youngest son Canaan, while Ham's son Mizraim, the ancestor of the Egyptians, was not cursed.

Tolkien and his Atlantis Complex

Donnelly argues that the Biblical Flood represents a folk memory of Atlantis, so Donnelly would be taking the comparison the other way, turning Noah into an Elendil.

Blavatsky

Root Races

In consequence of this [black magic], war was declared, the story of which would be too long to narrate; its substance may be found in the disfigured allegories of the race of Cain, the giants, and that of Noah and his righteous family.

Hinduism

Padma Purana

List of similarities between the story of Noah and Vaivasvata Manu or Manu Vaivasvata

The stories of Noah in the Abrahamic traditions (as found in the Bible) and Vaivasvata Manu in Hindu traditions (as found in the Puranas) share several similarities, indicating common themes of a global flood and the survival of humanity through divine intervention.

Divine Warning: Before the flood, the central figures, Noah and Manu, receive a divine warning about the impending catastrophe.

Building an Ark/Boat: In response to the divine warning, both Noah and Manu are instructed to build a large vessel to save themselves, their families, and representatives of various living beings.

The ark in Noah's story and the boat in Manu's story serve as means of protection against the flood.

Noah and Manu, along with their families, are portrayed as righteous and are chosen to survive the deluge, highlighting the theme of divine favor and salvation.

Noah releases a dove in the Bible, and Vaivasvata Manu releases a bird (often a crow or dove) in Hindu traditions.

The stories of Noah and Manu involve their roles as progenitors of humanity after surviving a catastrophic flood.

Let's explore the sons and daughters of Noah and Manu in their respective traditions:

Shem: Shem is often mentioned as the eldest son of Noah.

Ham: Ham is another son of Noah.

Japheth: Japheth is the third son of Noah.

The Bible does not explicitly mention the names of Noah's daughters.
